Abstract
In the dominant interpretation, the agrarian crisis and farmers’ suicides have been viewed either as outcomes of individual decisions/actions of the farmers or as caused by vagaries of nature or certain policies. The present study views them as symptomatic of a deeper systemic crisis in agriculture in the post-Green Revolution and post-economic reform period. By examining the transformation of the agrarian question, especially consequent upon the generalisation of the Green Revolution model, this article highlights the importance of the changing dynamics between farm and non-farm sector in terms of accumulation and interaction and the changes in the class–caste relations internal to the rural society as the causes of the crisis.
